  CONGRATULATING OREGON WHEAT GROWERS' LEAGUE ON ITS 100TH ANNIVERSARY

  (Mr. BENTZ asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. BENTZ. Mr. Speaker, I rise to congratulate the Oregon Wheat 
Growers' League on its 100-year anniversary.
  Since its inception in 1926, the Wheat Growers' League has supported, 
encouraged, and promoted the production of wheat, one of the most 
important sources of nutrition in the world.
  Over the past 100 years, the League has transformed the individual 
voices of wheat farmers into a formidable and effective political 
organization.
  The League's advocacy is essential because Oregon's agricultural 
sector continues to face serious challenges, including skyrocketing 
fertilizer and energy costs, market uncertainty, severe drought, and 
misguided regulation.
  Again, congratulations to the Oregon Wheat Growers' League on 
reaching its 100th year. I thank the generations of producers, 
families, and local leaders who helped build and maintain this 
successful and essential organization. I look forward to working with 
all of them as we build a brighter future for Oregon's wheat producers.
